Election-stealer senators

lundi 25 janvier 2021 à 01:00

It looks like the election-stealer senators will not be expelled. So there is a campaign to deny them committee assignments.

Would that punishment achieve anything but to give them a chance to demonstrate defiance?

I do not know the rules that govern Senate committee assignments or how easily they can be set aside by 50 senators plus the vice president. Would denying those senators committee assignments imply giving extra committee assignments to other Republicans? Or would it mean Republicans get less than half the committee assignments? How can the senate move forward without an organizing resolution?
